W286BK Birmingham on air?

The daily digest came down the pipeline this morning with word that WAY-FM has filed a license to cover for W286BK in Birmingham.  The station, at 105.1 MHz, was previously licensed to Alabaster with just 10 watts.  The site was actually in Pelham, at US-31 and AL-119 but as far I know, was never operational.

So while this license to cover would imply they're broadcasting from the new site in Hoover's Patton Chapel area, I am skeptical that it's actually on the air.

In other religious radio news, Columbus, Georgia's WFRC is showing as having built out a construction permit.  They have previously been listed as silent, so it can be guessed that they are back on the air now.  It's possible they're still off, as religious organizations are bad about bending the FCC rules on licenses to cover, but as it's a full power station I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
